Make It A Day To Remember With A Vegas Theme

One way to throw a party everyone will remember is to capture the allure, flash and ridiculous of a Vegas Theme Wedding. Ideally, you can do it by actually going to “Sin City,” but since most of us cannot, bringing Vegas Theme Weddings to you is the next best thing. While you do not want your wedding to mirror the theme “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” you do want to make your wedding “A Night to Remember” and luckily, with Vegas, that is easy.

Your options for a Vegas theme are limitless and up to your own preferences and boldness. You can literally go for the whole enchilada replete with an Elvis impersonator to take the bride down the aisle and a reception set up like a casino with games of chance throughout or you can make it more subtle by incorporating parts of each event to commemorate Vegas. This can be accomplished by breaking up your events between traditional and Vegas themes.

For instance, one way you can commemorate a Vegas theme is to print your invitations on paper poker chips that announce the date and the theme. You also can give guests “Jackpot” Mini Stickers or give gifts Lucky in Love party favors that ask guests to “try your luck in love.” Another suggestion is to give younger guests (and older guests with a sweet tooth) a Mini Slot Machine that dispenses gumballs. One more option is to give each guest a packet of Heart Shaped Playing Cards.

Your ceremony can also take on a Vegas theme, but not set the bar for friendly tackiness. To accomplish this, you can ask guest speakers to incorporate a “jackpot” topic theme play some of Elvis’ music at some point in the ceremony. Of course, you also can go all the way and hire a JP to marry you (they do more than just City Hall or shotgun weddings) or really get into it and have the King give the Bride away (even if the King is just Dad in a wig.) Vegas is so diverse that the options are limitless and up to your imagination as to how much of a Vegas theme wedding you want to incorporate.

The colors you choose for your wedding party, decorations and collections can create a Vegas feel. Incorporating a Flower of Love in Romantic Red Collection exudes the combination of Vegas flash and passion. You also can incorporate colors that exude Vegas, such as chrome highlights, black edging and silver and gold wedding accessories.

If you do have a cocktail hour, handing out playing card drink vouchers (if your bar is not “open”) is a great way to get your guests in the mood as well as emphasize your theme. At the reception, setting up “stations” that feature popular casino games is also a well received idea. If you are worried about the reception devolving into “poker night” or “casino night” manage the stations so that they are only open during particular time periods. You also can force guests to mingle by having time periods for play where guests then shift to another game or station.

Other suggestions to make your Vegas Theme Wedding a success is to hire a DJ that is familiar with Vegas music. This will make sure you have a good mix of Vegas-style music with more “wedding traditional” fare. You also can provide all guests with a Bride and Groom Stir Stick or Pick with every beverage they order. Giving your wedding party Card Suit Key Chains to commemorate the day is a great way to remind those closest to you of your day and the big event.

The key is to capture the essence of Vegas, but not have the theme obscure the magic of the day. How you plan your Vegas Theme Wedding is completely up to your own preferences and how much of the Vegas feel you want to incorporate. With some people, a full on Vegas spectacle is the only way to go. If, however, you are not so bold as to have Elvis officiate the ceremony, there are virtually limitless options to make sure that your theme sticks in the mind of every guest.
